The present invention also relates to 5-acylamino2,4,6-triiodo or tribromo-benzoic acid derivatives which, having never being disclosed so far, were for the first time obtained by the process described in the present invention .
Rearrangment reaction of II and/or respectively III into I is only formally analogous to Smiles rearrangement reaction (Smiles Rearrangement; The MERCK Index, Tenth Edition, Organic Name Reactions, pag. ONR-84) and may be represented as follows: II----> I: R '-NH-CO-CH-O-Ar------> HO-CH-CO-N ( R ' )-Ar III---* I: Ri Ri Acyl-NH-CH^-CH-O-Ar----> Acyl-N-CH^CH-OH R.
Ar wherein: R', and Acyl are as above defined and Ar is a trihalo substituted aromatic ring as defined in formula I.
Rearrangment takes place in presence of bases and, generally but not exclusively, at a temperature equal to or higher than room temperature, in order to increase the reaction rate. The equilibrium which takes place between compound II or III and compound I is often so shifted towards I that, by means of the process described in the present invention, yields even higher than 90% may be obtained.
Said process is of the greatest interest from the technical point of view since it makes it possible to obtain compounds of formula I, starting from easily available compounds such as the ether derivatives of -hydroxy-2,4,6-triiodo or tribromo-benzoic acid, said compounds of formula I being very interesting but generally more difficult to obtain in high yields, according to the known methods.
Compounds of formula I are valuable components of contrast agents in radiology.
Among these, particularly useful are some -( N-acyl-amino )-2 , 4,6-t.r i iodo or t-r ibromo-bi s-( hydroxyalkyl ) isophthalamide derivatives, since they are non-ionic contrast agents endowed with good tolerability and high water-solubility. Ionic contrast agents used hitherto, are being replaced to a higher and higher extent by this new class of products, since it has a lot of outstanding advantages in particular as far as tolerability is concerned.
As in no way limitative examples of non-ionic contrast agents used in radiology, which may be prepared according to the process described in the present invention, the following compounds are hereinbelow reported; * * Iopamidol = (S) N, N '-bis/f2-hydroxy-l-(hydroxymethyl) ethy1/-5-/12-hydroxy-1-oxopropyl)aminc/-2,4,6-triiodo-1,3benzenedicarboxyamide; Ger.

The process of the invention also make it possible to prepare novel 5-acylamino-2, 4,6-triiodo or tribromo-benzoic acid derivatives which are part of the disclosure and are useful contrast agents in radiology.

According to what hereinabove stated, non limitative examples of the group of formula Acyl-NH-CH^CH(R )-O- in compounds of formula III, in which R and Acyl are as above defined, are the following ones: 2-acetylamino-ethoxy 2-hydroxyacetylamino-ethoxy 2-acetylamino-propoxy AcNHCH CHO2 2 HOCH CONHCH CH O2 ,.22 AcNHCH(Me)CH2O2-acetylamino-1-( methoxymethyl) ethoxy AcNHCH2CH(CH20Me)0HOCH( Me )CONHCH^CHOAcNHCH2CH(Me JOMeOCH CONHCH CH O2 2 2 MeOCH^ONHCH^HiCH OH)O2- -hydroxypropionylamino-ethoxy 2-acety1amino-1-methyl-ethoxy 2-methoxyacetylamino-ethoxy 2-methoxyacetylamino-1-hydroxymethylethoxy According to the general definition of formula I, by means of the process of the present invention, , UJ-bis-( N-2 , 4,6-t.r i iodo or tribromo-pheny 1-N--hydroxyacyl-amino ) alkanes of formula VI CH-OH CH-OH X X where i n: X, Y and Z have the same meanings of formula I, Alkylene is a straight or branched C^-C^ alkylene residue, which in turn may be substituted by hydroxy groups and/or interrupted by 0, S, SO or so2, R is H or a C^-C^ alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, alkoxyalkyl or alkoxy-hydroxyalkyl group, can also be prepared.
The above said compounds of formula VI are obtained by a double rearrangement from the corresponding bis-{N-(2,4,6-triiodo or tribromo-phenoxyacyl)-amino )-alkanes of formula VII VII wherein Y, Z, formula VI. and Alkylene have the same meanings as in of formula VIII, by a the corresponding or tribromo-benzoic acid be prepared, according to From the 3,5-bis-ethers double rearrangement, 3,5-bis-acylamino-2,4,6-triiodo derivatives of formula IX can the following scheme: v OH X R / [ \ CO-CH-R I 1 OH IX z wherein X, Y, R and R have the same meanings as in formulae I and II, respectively.

By means of the process of the present invention, the 3 , 5-bis-acylamino-2 , 4,6-t.r i iodo or tribromo-benzoic acid derivatives of general formula XIII, can also be prepared by rearrangement of the corresponding compounds of formula XII, according to the following scheme: CO-Y X XIII, wherein : X and Y have the same meanings as in formula I , A and B, which may be the same or different , are groups of formula -N(R)CO-CHOH-R or -N(Acy1)CH^-CHOH-Rrespectively defined as in formulae IX and XI, B* is a group of formula -CH(R )CONHR or -CH(R )CH -NH-Acyl respectively defined as in formulae VIII and X .
Starting compounds necessary to carry out the synthetic process according to t.he invention are 5-( alkylaminocarbonyl-alkoxy )-2,4,6-t.r i iodo or tribromo20 benzoic acid derivatives of formulae II or VII, 5-(acylamino-alkoxy)-2,4,6-triiodo or tribromo-benzoic acid derivatives of formula III, 3,5-bis-(alkylaminocarbonyl-alkoxy ) -2 , 4 , 6-triiodo or tribromo-benzoic acid derivatives of formula VIII,3,5-bis-(acylamino-alkoxy)-2,4, 6-triodo or tribromo-benzoic acid derivatives of formula X, 3-(alkylaminocarbonylalkoxy or acylaminoalkoxy)-5-acylamino-2,4,6triodo or tribromo-benzoic acid derivatives of formula XII .
By means of known synthetic methods, the above cited 5-hydroxy-2,4,6-tr iodo or t r ibromo-benz'o'ic acid ether derivatives of formulae II, III, VII, VIII, X and XII are generally more easily obtainable than compounds of formula I.
The more evident advantage of this new synthetic process resides in that the above said contrast agents can be usually prepared more easily and in a shorter way, when compared to known methods.
In order to prepare non-ionic contrast agents, generally consisting in 5-^hydroxyacylamino or 5-(hydroxyaIkylacylamino) -2,4,6-1riiodo or tribromobis-( hydroxy-alky1)isophthalamides, by means of known synthetic methods, the proper intermediates are usually subjected to acylation and/or alkylation at. the aromatic nitrogen in 5-pos it ion, thus obta i n ing the corresponding anilides and/or alkylani1 ides . An undesired even if partial reaction of the hydroxy groups present in t.he molecule with the acylating or t.he alkylating agent, to give the corresponding O-acetyl or O-alkyl derivatives, is in such way inevitable. This makes the purification of t.he the use of preserve the process of protecting alkylating final products quite difficult, or requires appropriate protecting groups, in order to hydroxy groups from said side reactions. By the the invention, on the contrary, the use of such groups is no more necessary, since acylating or agents are not used.
Synthetic schemes illustrating respectively the process of the invention (Fig. No. 1) in comparison with a known synthesis of Ioversol (Fig. No. 2, USA Pat. 4.396.598) are hereinbelow enclosed as an example. .
The above said advantages of easiness and shortness of the synthesis, besides the ones deriving from avoiding the use of dangerous and polluting reactants, such as thionyl chloride, or large amounts of acetic anhydride and soda to protect and subsequently deprotect hydroxy groups, are immediately evident from a comparative examination of the two processes.
Another favourable aspect of the process resides in the remarkable easiness of t.he purification steps, because of the minimum amounts of salts to be removed, while, using known synthetic met.hods, long and expensive separation techniques are required in order to remove large amounts of such Up to now, compounds of formula disclosed .

Chem. 48 The rearrangement reaction can , 5140-5143 (1983). be carried out in water or in an organic solvent’ such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, 2-methoxyethanol, 1,2-dimeth'oxye thane , 1,2-propanediol, tetrahydrofuran (THF), benzene, toluene, pyridine or dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethylacetamide (DMAC) or hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPT), generally in the presence of only catalytic amounts of bases.
Alkali, such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, alkali metal carbonates (Na^CO^, ), alkali metal hydrogenocarbonates (NaHCO^, KHCO^), alkali metal borates such as borax or sodium borate, and corresponding buffer mixtures, alcoholat.es such as sodium ethylate, sodium methylate, potassium ethylate, potassium methylate, potassium tert-but.y late, tertiary amines such as triethylamine, tributylamine, N-methyl-morpholine, N-methy 1-pyrrolidine, N-methyl-piperidine, quaternary ammonium hydroxides such as t.et. ramet.hyl ammon i um hydroxide, tet.raethylammonium hydroxide, tet.rabutylammonium hydroxide, retrabuty1ammonium fluoride, benzylt.rimety lammonium hydroxide, diazabicycloundecene (DBU), and tetraazacyclododecane (TAZA) can be used as bases .
Bases such as sodium amide and potassium amide, as well as alkali hydrides such as sodium hydride or potassium hydride, can also be considered as potentially useful.
Sometimes addition of crown ethers can also be useful to remarkably increase the reaction rate.
Reaction temperature may generally range from 0° to 150°C, preferably from 50° to 100°C; it strongly depends on the kind of solvent and base used; for example, in presence of sodium hydride or, even better, of'potassium hydride, the reaction proceeds in an aprotic solvent such as DMF or DMAC at a very high rate at. 0°C or even at lower temperatures .
Favourable conditions to increase reaction rate are attained carrying out the reaction in the presence of an alkali hydride in an ether, such as 1, 2-dimet.hoxyethane, THF, or in an aprotic solvent., adding a crown ether such as 15-crown - 5- (=1,4, 7, 10, 13-pent aoxacyc lopent.adecane ) , 18-crown-6 (=1,4,7,10,13, 16-hexaoxacyc looc t.adecane ) .
